As I have no idea how much fuel the car will take, and I like to minimize my trips to service stations I will always fill. Unless its a place doing prepay only and I will just get $10 to spite them.

With that logic method theres a very good chance topping all the time, running to E for enough enough times to you soon know know it doesn't go over say $109 to fill (like mine) and therefore reserve $120 if the 200 is too high

I selected the fill option on BP Me today and they took a hold of $125. Perhaps they apply $125 for diesel and $200 for petrol?

I was actually annoyed because I was supposedly going to get a 10c per litre discount but it wasn't applied when I looked at the receipt. When I investigated I discovered that you have to spend at least $40, which is often difficult if you have a small diesel vehicle

Carry some Jerry cans with you. So that when a good special comes up. Or you drive past a well priced petrol station. You can take full advantage of it.

And in your case - always qualify for the over $40 discounts. In Auckland at least, there can sometimes be as much as 30c per L price difference for diesel.

I used to use the BP app but could not use coupons from super markets etc and they always threw a $200 hold on your account that would not disrepair for a few days, was not worth the hassle in the end really.

I seem to recall BP only do a $200 hold if you pick the fill option. If you just fill up by e.g. $40 (min for the discounts etc) then they just hold that amount. Is this definitely not the case?

Yeah sorry should have said I only do fill's , Car only takes a maximum of $120.

Tried out the Fastlane this morning at Z Albany.
Nice and quick, although there was some confusion as the forecourt attendant assumed I was a non-registered customer. A few thumbs up and all good to go.

Quite like driving up to the pump and it showing ‘Kia Ora Sam’ on the screen!

One in Lincoln Road Christchurch has had it's fast lanes coned off for couple of days now.

Wonder what's happened?

Had a notification in the Z app that the trial is closed for planned maintenance.
